Report of comments by French Prime Minister, Lionel Jospin, 8 February 2002. The comments reflect European anxiety about President George W. Bush's foreign policy following his condemnation of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as the 'axis of evil' in his 'State of the Union' speech.

Mr Jospin is the first European prime minister to make such an outspoken attack, although ministers from Germany, Spain and France have criticised Mr Bush's remarks in his State of the Union address last week.
